Acne is one of the most common skin concerns in Pakistan, affecting teenagers and adults alike. The hot and humid climate, combined with pollution and stress, can trigger or worsen breakouts. But the good news is that with the right skincare routine and treatments, you can manage and reduce acne significantly. Here is a complete, practical guide tailored to Pakistani skin types and environmental conditions.
Understanding Acne: Types and Causes
Before diving into treatments, it’s important to understand the types of acne:
- Whiteheads and Blackheads: Non-inflammatory acne caused by clogged pores.
- Papules and Pustules: Red, inflamed pimples caused by bacteria.
- Nodules and Cysts: Deep, painful acne that can lead to scarring.
Common Triggers in Pakistan:
- Excessive sweating due to heat
- Oily skin caused by humidity
- Air pollution clogging pores
- Hormonal changes, poor diet, or stress
